Viewed from above, the Sola Onion Flower SO69 looks like a spiral drawn in paper. Very thin ribbons of sola are shaved and coiled round and round, building up a rounded, domed rosette whose concentric layers resemble the rings of a cut onion, which gives the design its trade name.
The photograph shows the heads in a soft ivory with a faint peach-blush tone that sits in the folds of the ribbons. Each coil carries fine ridges and feathered edges from the shaving process, so the surface has more texture than a smooth-petalled rose and catches light in thin, curving lines.
The dense, closed construction makes this a sturdy head that holds its shape in bowls and boxes and absorbs fragrance oil evenly, which suits diffuser and aroma-bowl ranges. It also adds a soft, textural note to neutral bouquets and minimal table styling. Floral Mongers produces it by hand for bulk buyers, with tone and size discussed per order.

Natural variation
The number of coils and the tightness of the spiral vary with each hand-shaved head. The ivory and blush tone of the pith is natural and may appear lighter or warmer from one batch to the next. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated place away from humidity and direct sunlight.
- Handle by the base or outer petals; thin sola petals can crease or chip under pressure.
- Remove dust with a soft brush or a cool air setting on a hair-dryer.
- Keep away from water and damp surfaces, which soften sola pith.
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
